Genuinely had no idea you could get so much variety out of a C harp. This series is a real gas, thanks a lot, Will!

[@willharmonicawilde]

That's awesome! Glad you're enjoying it

[@dirkh.8238]

After the ionian and dorian modes, this is where the cool stuff continues. Well done Will, this series is a blast.

[@willharmonicawilde]

Got to say Will that with these 3 parts so far that I'm really developing a better sense of understanding of how these modes, scales, positions, lower, middle and upper octaves interrelate with each other, and how they can be worked. it's all helping along my improvising skills as well. Many thanks.

[@willharmonicawilde]

Excelente 🎼🎶🎵❤❤

[@bentoury]

Bravo :) thats really cool stuff. I was looking how to play 4th position in low octaves. Thank you :)

[@stephenbouchelle7706]

I think Magic Dick and Will are in a league by themselves for stadium quality blues rock harp.

[@vladimirantipin306]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrSpanky2001]

Must compliment you on the new production setting and format. ......and I can understand you too!

[@willharmonicawilde]

Thanks!

[@acidcrab4215]

I like to cheat the root note issue by wailing on the third or the seventh of the I chord

[@RoesMadness]

How i get dat Effect on the mic men, a im new on mic and the ampli

[@nerenahd]

This series is gold, mate. Your playing in the beginning by itself convinced me to learn this mode. Amazing, brother!!!!!

[@seadogbob]

Will, how do you choose a Backing track that works for these examples? Can you pick them out by ear or is the chord structure your looking for or other clues?

[@willharmonicawilde]

I just go by ear, and try to find a groove that inspires me. This scale will work over pretty much anything in Am

[@leswhitham]

Yeah, another cool one, Will. Keep it up. What’s up next?

[@willharmonicawilde]

I haven't decided yet, probably Lydian 12th Position ;-)

[@leswhitham]

Will Wilde, never heard of it. Suppose I’d better get reading up!!

[@willharmonicawilde]

@@leswhitham It's one of the 7 modes of the major scale: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Aeolian, Mixolydian, Lydian and Locrian

[@leswhitham]

Will Wilde ok, cool. Will you be going through all of them? I take they all just start with a different root note?

[@willharmonicawilde]

@@leswhitham I probably won't do them all, I never use Locrian! (B to B)

[@raphaelmorand-fehr7106]

Hey Will thanks again for all these video this is very helpful!
I've got a question I keep asking myself, during these video you're using just a C harp but what if for example I'm using an A Harp in 3rd position and use the A major scale to play the "B mode" using B as my root note. Is that different in some way as if I took the C Harp to play in B use 3D as my root note?
Thanks for all!

[@willharmonicawilde]

Yes, every major scale has 7 modes. B Dorian is a mode of the A major scale you are right. Glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@willharmonicawilde]

Playing B to B on a C harp (BCDEFGAB) would give you B Locrian mode. B to B on an A harp gives you B Dorian (B C# D E F# G# A B)

[@raphaelmorand-fehr7106]

Thanks a lot for this reply everything make sense now!
I thought I will never understand exactly what every mode refer and now I see the difference between both!

[@charliegregory4148]

👍👍👍🎸😎⚘🎶🎵

[@thevsevolod]

Hi Will!) It's ordinary C or Wilde Rock tuning lessons ?

[@willharmonicawilde]

All of this series about modes are on a standard C diatonic

[@thevsevolod]

@@willharmonicawilde Oh, yes, I already understood that!) I would like more lessons specifically on Wild Rock. I’m studying a couple of the most recent two weeks ago. I hope that they do not end there!)

[@dovlandzbaum5036]

This would work in the great Dire Straits song "Sultans of Swing," wouldn't it?

[@willharmonicawilde]

Yes, try it!
